Our Story
Travel With A Paddle was started by Beau Nixon & Clare Baranowski in early 2018. Merging a passion for SUP surf travel and marine biology, our trips are designed to enhance your surfing performance on the water whilst also learning about the surrounding environment.
Beau is a former competitive SUP surfer with a talent for coaching and his career in the sport of stand up paddling has taken him all over the world competing, coaching, commentating and leading SUP surf coaching clinics.
Clare is a marine biologist and her career has spanned over ten years with an expertise in tropical marine biology. She currently specialises in manta ray research and in the past has carried out coral reef restoration, turtle conservation and sustainability development.
